  3. Cosgrove Hall fire: Firefighters may be there into the night

    BBC Look East

    It's a sad sight here in Cosgrove.

    Looking into the building there are few flames popping up inside and for the fire service it's just a case of dampening down any hot spots.

    Crews have told me they will be here for a while, maybe into the night to make sure the fire doesn't restart.

    But it looks like there isn't much left to burn. 

  4. Weather: Rather cloudy, but staying mostly dry

    BBC Look East weather

    There'll be little change from earlier through this evening and overnight, with often cloudy skies and the odd shower possible. 

    Whilst the moderate easterly breeze will gradually ease, it will remain chilly with a minimum temperature of 11C (52F).

    The cloudy skies could potentially bring a few further showers through tomorrow. Some brighter or sunny spells are likely as it peaks at 16C (61F).

  14. Signs state Marlow 'open for business' following bridge damage

    Jane Killick

    BBC Three Counties Radio

    Signs have appeared around Marlow making it clear the town is open for business, after its suspension bridge was shut last month following damage by an overweight lorry.

    They've been made with the approval of Bucks Highways after local businesses claimed they're losing thousands of pounds in revenue, as people can't get to them.

    They'll be placed by diversion signs to try and help confused motorists get around the area easier.
